The change is fast and the drivers are agility, adoption and renewable

I would divide the past six decades into two segments: first 50 years and last 10 years. I think the first 50 years were more in a push mode where we could pre-empt, see the market, forecast, sit in the boardrooms and plan the vision for 5-7 years.

But today the global economy and liberalization has posed a lot of risks as well as given us the opportunity which pushed us so to adopt many changes in the field of technology and the speed of information.

I think the speed of information which has happened in the last 10 years has surpassed last 50 years. And these kinds of changes are putting us under enormous amount of pressure. Everywhere I am getting impacted by the Global economy. The change is fast and drivers have changed completely.

There are only three drivers now: Agility, Adoption and renewability. Renewability means how much I have been able to renew myself and that is more of a short term to medium term; and sustainability is more of a long term perspective. I think these are the things which are happening and we have to gear up ourselves.

The need of today ‘s leader is to think global, talk about more multicultural, talk about more adoption and be more people – centric wherein we focus on important areas.
